I strongly disagree with you , we should avoid break backward compatibility , unless we got a very good reason , which is not the case > > is not sbin for super users and bin for users ? > > > > No. This is one of those many myths about the "Unix FHS".

Fedora old school (or just me I don't know ) don't use sudo , sudo is a bad idea that came from Ubuntu and turn computer much more insecure , since if a regular user is compromised the access to all computer is much more easier . And PATH at root user have sbin and PATH of regular user should not have /sbin/ but checking we got this pearl in /etc/profile if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then pathmunge /usr/sbin pathmunge /usr/local/sbin else pathmunge /usr/local/sbin after pathmunge /usr/sbin after fi -- Sérgio M.
